This might actually be worse than her original answer
Nikki Haley today: “Of course the Civil War was about slavery. We know that. That’s the easy part of it. What I was saying was what does it mean to us today? What it means to us today is about freedom. That’s what that was all about.”

Slavery was not only immoral but also an inferior business model to industrialization.
This was a fight over control, profits, dying monopolies, culture, and of course slavery was the moral pretense.

Much worse. She’s trying to say it means something else to us today. Today, Republicans whitewash history.

It is, she went both sides. By the end of the day she's going to say Slaves fought for the Confederacy and the Irish were slaves

You could see she was terrified at the idea of being honest in the moment.

Media is focused on response to slavery question.
Focus on this statement - Republicans are all about the opposite.
"Government doesn’t need to tell you how to live your life. They don’t need to tell you what you can and can’t do. They don’t need to be a part of your life.”

"what it means today" just sounds like admitting lost causers are trying to rewrite history.

If the Biden team were smart they would run this in an ad starting TODAY saying:
"The Republican Party. Even the ones who claim to be moderate are extreme."
MAGA is not a byproduct. And neither is Trump.
This is who they are now. At their core.
Racist and anti democracy.

Digging that hole a little deeper each time she speaks … and of COURSE playing the blame game. The party of personal freedom is never about personal accountability. How convenient.
